The diary of a RPG game master (and occasional player). Right now I’m world-building and running an OSE campaign through Fantasy Grounds. I also run D&D 5e, Traveller (Mongoose 2e), and have been known to dabble in other systems, including FATE and Fantasy Flight Star Wars.

In this episode we go dark and experimental with Mörk Borg character creation and first person narrated solo play. Meet the esoteric warlock, Eldar Rottentoe, and his vicious little dog, Urm. It's mud core, but it's good clean fun.

In this episode I discuss the mechanics vs. the lore of D&D, the latter of which has in many ways become self-referential. What’s essential and what can be tossed before it’s not D&D anymore?
Turns out there’s a little bit of OSR sensibility in the current version of the world’s greatest roleplaying game. Mike Mearl’s 1981 Rules: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YN--nG6VRWq6efGvXX9gH0yNk_pUYcWDBaKSGUc5roI/mobilebasic The Redcaps Poscast interview with Chris Gonnerman: https://anchor.fm/theredcaps/episodes/Episode-85---Chris-Gonnerman--BFRPG-e1orl8u
In this episode, I discuss the origin and tropes of the D&D cleric and their match or mismatch with the typical polytheistic settings of D&D. For more on clerics, check out Delta's D&D Hotspot (http://deltasdnd.blogspot.com/p/primary-house-rules.html?m=1) and Web DM (https://youtu.be/4OASWdj8LYY).

A return to basics with in-person play and theater of the mind. Also, wrapping up #RPGaDay2022 with calls from Jason Connerly and Anthony Boyd.
RPGaDay2022 It’s the final week of questions. Plus more Hyperborea and a passing of the torch (or guiding bolt, actually).
Spelljammer is here. In this episode I’ll take a deep dive into the new 5e Spelljammer collection, make some comparisons to the original 2e material, and extol the wonder of miniature giant space hamsters. Go for the eyes Boo!
